NBC has finally confirmed that this will indeed be the last season of The West Wing. This is the seventh season of the show which has chronicled the presidency of Josiah Bartlett (Martin Sheen) and his staff. Created by Aaron Sorkin who left (or was forced off the show depending on various accounts) after the show’s fourth season which just happened to coincide with the severe drop in quality and writing. The West Wing had found a small revival over the last year with the election run for Bartlett’s successor including guest stars Jimmy Smits and Alan Alda as the nominees. NBC sited declining ratings as the cause for the cancellation. The last episode is scheduled to air on May 14.
